Class A Common Stock Expected to Begin Trading on Reverse Split-Adjusted Basis on September 9, 2024

BlackSky Technology Inc. (“BlackSky”) (NYSE: BKSY), today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a 1-for-8 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of BlackSky’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”). The Reverse Stock Split was approved by BlackSky’s stockholders at BlackSky’s annual meeting of stockholders held virtually earlier today. The Reverse Stock Split will be effective at 4:15 p.m. Eastern Time on September 6, 2024, and the Class A Common Stock will open for trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) on a reverse split-adjusted basis on September 9, 2024, under the existing trading symbol “BKSY.”

The new CUSIP number of the Class A Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split will be 09263B 207. BlackSky’s publicly traded warrants will continue to be traded on the NYSE under the symbol “BKSY.W,” and the CUSIP number for the publicly traded warrants will remain unchanged.

At the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split, every eight shares of issued Class A Common Stock will be automatically reclassified into one new share of Class A Common Stock. The Reverse Stock Split will not change the number of authorized shares of Class A Common Stock or BlackSky’s preferred stock. The par value per share of the Class A Common Stock will also remain unchanged at $0.0001.

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, proportionate adjustments will be made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise or settlement of all outstanding BlackSky options and restricted stock units to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock, and the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to BlackSky’s equity incentive plans will be reduced proportionately. In addition, proportionate adjustments will be made to BlackSky’s outstanding warrants, resulting in each publicly traded warrant becoming exercisable for 1/8th of a share of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $92.00 per whole share.

No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive fractional shares as a result of the Reverse Stock Split will be entitled to a cash payment (without interest) in lieu thereof at a price equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock held by such stockholder before the Reverse Stock Split that would otherwise have been exchanged for such fractional share interest multiplied by the closing price per share of the Class A Common Stock on the NYSE on September 6, 2024, the date of the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split.

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company is acting as transfer and exchange agent for the Reverse Stock Split. Registered stockholders who hold shares of Class A Common Stock are not required to take any action to receive post-reverse split shares. Stockholders owning shares via a broker, bank, trust or other nominee will have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split, subject to such broker’s particular processes, and will not be required to take any action in connection with the Reverse Stock Split.
